T9 - Low Density Parity Check Codes
| • | Krishna Narayanan, Texas A&M University, USA |
| This tutorial will discuss the basic concepts behind constructing LDPC codes and their associated encoding and decoding structures. The main idea behind message passing decoding will be presented. Techniques to analyze and design good LDPC codes for coherent memoryless channels will be outlined. Then the design and analysis of LDPC codes for channels will be extended to channels memory and non-coherent channels. Finally, a general framework for performing iterative signal processing and decoding will be developed. |
Dr. Krishna R. Narayanan received his Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1998. Since December 1998 he has been with the department of electrical engineering at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX, as an assistant professor until September 2003 and as an associate professor currently. His research interests are in coding and modulation for wireless communications and digital magnetic recording. His research has focused on turbo codes, low-density parity check codes and iterative signal processing. He is the recipient of the CAREER award from the National Science Foundation in 2001, the select young faculty award in the college of engineering at Texas A&M University in 2001 and the outstanding faculty award from the department of electrical engineering in 2003. He has published more than 60 papers in leading journals and conferences. He has also developed a graduate course on advanced channel coding covering topics such as turbo codes and low-density parity check codes at Texas A&M university.
He is currently serving as an editor for the IEEE Transactions on wireless communications. He also served as an associate editor for the IEEE communications letters from 2000-2003 and on the technical program for several major IEEE conferences.
